I don’t know if you’re keeping up with things, but RFK seems like one of his biggest issues is shit in the food, talking about banning corn syrup etc, so I kinda doubt it.
In same cases no, but fluoride in the water quite clearly does “do shit for your teeth” at least for children, that is the premise of the article.
He isn’t even in office he is a fucken civilian.
He has been talking to world leaders the whole time he wasn’t president and especially in the last few months, do you not read the news or know how things work, dozens of world leaders have gone to Mar a Lago to meet with him while he is “a fucken civillian” these past few months.
What powers is he flexing that Joe isn’t? Fucking none. He is coming it late AF and claiming the spoils when he hasn’t done shit.
This is not even close, if you want to be charitable to Biden you can say Netanyahu was only willing to make a deal with Trump in office, if you reasonably don’t want to be charitable to Biden you can argue like the article does that Biden used almost no leverage to do anything.
I wouldn’t classify him as a “good thing”, Trump says he will get rid of daylight savings, which is mostly agreed upon to be a positive in terms of people’s health and safety, but I wouldn’t say that makes Trump a “good thing”.
It’s possible he could cause a lot of harm in some aspects and then do beneficial things in other aspects. People don’t just do strictly “good” things and other people do strictly “bad” things.
but dental is usually not included and most people pay it themselve
Children under 18 are covered for almost all dental care under the basic Dutch health insurance and therefor free of charge.

So you are wrong, you (most likely depending on your age I guess) had free dental as a child, the fluoride is aimed at children who are not guarenteed that in the US, it varies state to state and depending on your income.
So just a genuine question, but do some % of the population just have awful teeth?
To the best of my knowledge, kinda

There are definitely differences person to person on how prone they are to various dental issues.
I think it would be less important in a place with universal health care and dental care as kids would probably be brushing their teeth and get taken care of properly, but it’s more dire in North America than you would think. Canada doesn’t have free dental and America doesn’t have free health or dental whereas lots of European countries have universal healthcare.

You are a sad sad little person. Just block me. You can very clearly tell I am not a bot account, I comment on posts. Fuck off.
Just because you don’t like the articles it doesn’t mean they are “spam”. Someone with 0 posts and 100 comments complaining about “spam”, you don’t contribute to this website and then tell other people not too, seems like you would happier somewhere else. God forbid someone posts too many links to a link aggregating website.
Personally I can’t abstract the history of it being a fascist beer, just because it merged with a less fascist beer and various grand children sold their shares so they only own a tenth of the company their grandpa was using to fund the modern conservative movement that seeks to dismantle the very inclusivity it was offering to it’s own employees.
I just can’t square the circle there, maybe they were mitagating some of the damage they were causing by being inclusive, but calling them heroes is a bit rich for me.
The Coors family started the Heritage Foundation and gave a significant amount of money to dozens of right wing organizations, so I would not consider them “heroes” in any sense. You’re losing the plot if you ignore that, for having a perfect score for inclusivity.

17 million would have made zero difference in the outcome.
Maybe just maybe that number could increase instead of decrease, with the reality of climate change.

It is topical, you would know that if you read the article as declassified files were released in 2024, that showed Ethel was not a spy, no one is arguing her husband wasn’t a spy, so yes it is relevant to ask for a posthumous pardon after evidence was revealed this year that she had nothing to do with it and the government at the time knew that, but chose to execute her anyways.

An NSA codebreaker’s 1950 assessment reveals Ethel Rosenberg knew of her husband’s espionage but ‘did not engage in the work herself’ — despite this, the US sent her to die in the electric chair, writes ANDREW TUCKER
I think it’s just kinda funny imagining him tariffing Denmark and then Denmark turning off the Ozempic spigot in retaliation.
I feel like there is a comical level to it being a giant machete, like a pocket-able knife is one thing.
I cannot win with these types of articles, if I posted the original source I saw, I would have gotten 50 comments asking for the full list of democrats who voted for it, post a source that lists all the democrats, the source is not good enough
Failed Fact Checks Done in the last 5 years Overall, we rate the Environmental Working Group Left Biased as a strong Pseudoscience website based on the promotion of ideas and claims that oppose scientific consensus. (D. Van Zandt 5/10/2017) Updated (05/07/2024)
You know D. Van Zandt, is one guy and it is just this one guy’s personal opinion on the website, with no examples, if you are basing anything off of the ravings of D. Van Zandt you are deeply unserious, find actual things you disagree with the publication, don’t take this random guy’s (who is not even a fucking journalist) word for it.

Dave Van Zandt is a registered Non-Affiliated voter who values evidence-based reporting. Since High School (a long time ago), Dave has been interested in politics and noticed as a kid the same newspaper report in two different papers was very different in their tone. This curiosity led him to pursue a Communications Degree in college; however, like most 20-year-olds, he didn’t know what he wanted and changed to a Physiology major midstream. Dave has worked in the healthcare industry (Occupational Rehabilitation) since graduating from college but never lost the desire to learn more about bias and its impacts.

The armchair academics
Amateur attempts at such tools already exist, and have found plenty of fans. Google “media bias,” and you’ll find Media Bias/Fact Check, run by armchair media analyst Dave Van Zandt. The site’s methodology is simple: Van Zandt and his team rate each outlet from 0 to 10 on the categories of biased wording and headlines, factuality and sourcing, story choices (“does the source report news from both sides”), and political affiliation.
A similar effort is “The Media Bias Chart,” or simply, “The Chart.” Created by Colorado patent attorney Vanessa Otero, the chart has gone through several methodological iterations, but currently is based on her evaluation of outlets’ stories on dimensions of veracity, fairness, and expression.
Both efforts suffer from the very problem they’re trying to address: Their subjective assessments leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in. Compared to Gentzkow and Shapiro, the five to 20 stories typically judged on these sites represent but a drop of mainstream news outlets’ production.
Ah the zero sum game enjoyer has logged on, where everything is a zero sum game, if you had to vote between Hitler and Mussolini you would shed a single tear and proudly cast your ballot for Mussolini as he is clearly the less bad option and go to sleep soundly knowing your vote didn’t benefit Hitler.
